I just can't believe it when I see Kate Winslet on the cover of Bazaar this October. Look how different she is! She's slim and toned and svelte! Where has the old Kate gone? I like her a lot when she played in Titanic and gained weight and still proud of her body. I love that self-esteem and self-appreciation like "This is me and I'm real." The whole attitute of 'I don't care with myself being called fat by people as long as I'm healthy.' makes other people think that there is another thing that you should really care for instead of having a skinny body. And now, being slim and happy she is, she admits in Bazaar that the biggest fashion mistake she ever made is when she attented Golden Globe awards in 1998 and wearing a dress which made her look 'bad'. She says," I remember everyone saying, 'Oh, it looks great, and your figure looks amazing.' And I didn't look amazing at all. They should have put me in a tent - I'd be better off." ? I think she looked great in that green dress. And I thought she was happy having that body at that time?
I think Winslet is just an example that every now and then women hate being fat. It's like a disease for us all. And it happens to every woman in every shapes. Even the skinniest ones starve themselves. She is her own critic to her own body. I don't like it when I see a woman starving herself (especially the skinny one!), skipping breakfast and dinner and only have lettuce for her lunch or only eat 1/4 portion of her meal and later shove it to her boyfriend. I just don't understand those skinny women who absolutely aware that they have the body most women envy but still wanting (and starving) to have the body of those models in glossy magazines. Uh, hello? They don't even have boobs! Except for Giselle Bundchen or Fernanda Tavares.
The point is that, no matter what shape you have, as long as you're in good health, that's the most important. I don't believe in diets. I would rather doing exercises to shed some pounds than starving myself and then pass out on my way to campus. I know sometimes it's hard for some women to love her own body, most of us prefer to whine about it. But when you learn to love it, people will begin to look at you in different way and believe me, would it be great to have a healthy body instead of slim but weak one?
So don't judge yourself too hard and start going to the gym now!
